I have been following the article “[Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm)” and have been unable to get the JPG’s to display into the empty movie clip ☹

I have tried both relative and full path names with no luck. I have used the debugger and everything looks OK except maybe the width and height properties after the loadMovie statement are still zero.
